At the first this time, I introduce "和"
This character is one of the words that I value most. And this character becomes a logo of my art studio.
And this character means harmony, unity, peace, come to an understanding, the sum.

In addition, "輪 [wa]" of a reading of same as "和" means circle, ring, link, connection.

I feel that "harmony" is one of the things which people in the world lose.
Thought of "All of us are piece of peace. I will begin the connection with Japan." is put in a name of my art studio.



For more information about a type of a character and a type of a reading, I introduce it later.
Please enjoy that ''watching'' and ''feeling'' this time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
